Verity sucked in a great, wobbly breath. "It's my body," she shot back, jamming her hands on her hips. "You can just walk away, you don't have to deal with this." She didn't know why Fred was reacting like this. He didn't want children, never mind the fact that his mother would slaughter him when she found out that Verity was pregnant out of wedlock, which meant... oh Merlin. Verity gasped, inwardly, pressing her hands to her mouth in shock. This conversation couldn't possibly go that route... could it?
